Stable, window, haybar, brush, tub of hoof cream, erm.....rug and the new stable door is looking abit dodgy! But abby said she never did it, honest!
Bean's done a couple of lead ropes and a headcollar, he also likes to break rugs!
And Rosie 2 of my ribs! Oh and a set of reins and some overeach boots she ripped.

Forever ruining rugs in summer though that's not her fault really...
Rascal on the other hand... Where do IStary?! *groans* he's a walking demolition man. Fencing, grooming kits, buckets... He just sort of explodes and trashes the place, thinking about it - it's a bit like being hit by the cartoon character Taz!!!

A trampoline, that was staked in the ménage field.. he put his head through the net:smile:
Anyway they've been complaining ever since... How do you explain to a Yo that putting children's toys in a field used by horses is a no no? If my horse had broke his neck, would they still be bleating on about it, or shut up because I'd have been suing them:angel:?

Mine broke one of those 'indestructable' rubber tyre feed bowls... but come to think of it, nothing else really - not since I got him 4 years ago... Quite lucky really, I'll stop moaning about the feed bowl I guess
In the past week and a half...
2 stable rugs, the hood from his turnout rug, the bar that goes across his stable door, 4 pieces of tie-up string and a bucket. Oh, and the electric fencing that separates his field from one with LOADS of grass is now looking decidedly saggy :redface:

I have to be honest my two are pretty good
Sioned has trashed the front of her Rug by pushing up against the
fencing gazing lovingly at a Gelding two fields away, but the Rug is about
3 years old anyway and was getting a little tatty.
They are forever trashing the leccy fencing, but thats my fault for not
keeping the batteries topped up !
Oh, they DO trash the Neighbours TREES and BUSHES that hang over into
the field:biggrin:

Rhia has been quite well behaved recently, She broke Holls feed bucket the other week but that is my fault for buying a plastic one and letting her anywhere near it.
She isn't the gentlest of animals though :redface: and has broken lots of things in the past. One that sticks out was a reinforced chain my friend had across her stable. She was loose outside the stable and this horse had haylage inside her stable so Rhia just barged through the chain snapping it straight away. The chain had been used as a door on that stable with the same horse for over ten years and is a much bigger horse than little destructor pony.

My oldie mare shredded three rugs beyond repair in a week. For some reason, she's kept the fourth in tact!
